If the ecological footprint per person of a country or the world is larger than its biocapacity per person to replenish its renewable resources and absorb the resulting waste products and pollution, the country or the world is said to have an ecological deficit. If the reverse is true, the country or the world has an ecological credit or reserve. Use the data in the accompanying table to calculate the ecological deficit or credit for the countries listed. (As an example, this value has been calculated and filled in for World.)
Rank all of the countries in order from the largest to the smallest per capita ecological footprint.
